“Imaging a Safer World”
After clicking on the headline link, scroll down and select "[Demonstration]"
"May 6, 2005 08:20 - With 45 ft range, BIS-WDS™ Prime uses passive millimeter wave sensor technology to detect guns, knives, or bombs of metal, plastic, or composite construction. Weapons Detection System (WDS) consists of millimeter wave camera combined with video camera and algorithm software that interfaces to other security devices/networks. Capable of identifying up to 50 threats simultaneously, system produces electronic alarm when suspicious item is detected."
Well, we knew THIS was coming.
A Lockheed Martin joint venture, eh? “The single largest contractor to the United States Federal Government.” Figures.
In other words, profits on cost-plus contracts paid for by We the People are funneled into R&D for spinoff ventures that will be used to further captivate us.
Here are the capitalists who are selling the rope.
Naturally, former War on Drugs “czar” (notice they never say “fuhrer”?) Barry McCaffrey is part of the team. How could we build a Brave New World without him?
Time to work on creative ways to defeat this obscenity against privacy and liberty…
Any bets that Brijot’s legal counsel would scream the loudest about properly executed warrants should a raid for financial/time reporting/inventory records occur?
Any bets they'd cite the following in their complaint?
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”

A Call to Action
"[E]ven though I am not an American, I care about gun rights and freedom. I believe, America is going to be the death knell of the global gun control movement, and if we can kill gun control in America, it will eventually collapse in every major democracy.
"And now, for action. This year, the House of Representatives and the Senate is composed of a more pro-gun body than ever. This means we have a real shot at passing HR-1703 - Second Amendment Protection Act 2005. It is a bill whose main target is to eliminate the sporting purpose requirement from Federal law, eliminating such things as the import ban and the ATF-introduced ban on certain shotguns in one 'fell swoop', further securing the argument that 'the guns are not for hunting' in law."
So writes MicroBalrog. Did you get that? He's not an American. He lives in Israel. But he's doing more to protect American gun rights than most domestic gun owners--by a long shot.
People who have things given to them, that would be us, too often don't appreciate what they've inherited. Sometimes it takes an observer to see things from outside to tell us we need to act.
UPDATE:
He's posted a more detailed call to action here.
